It had to be done! In-spireLS were the only magazine to land an interview with Olympic and World Champion Usain Bolt last year and after his phenomenal success in the Olympic 100 metre final, we wanted to share his inspirational interview with those who have not read it. We are proud of our Superman for retaining his title and believe that he will be able to to retain his 200m title also. The 5th August is a beautiful night for athletics and a beautiful night for Team Jamaica. Usain, we SALUTE YOU.

Humility and focus are the words that summarise the talent and phenomenon that is World Champion and Olympic Champion, Usain Bolt. He is a living legend and by the time he comes to the end of his career there is no doubt that he will enter into the history books alongside notable sporting greats including Pele and Muhammed Ali. We are truly honoured and humbled by our exclusive interview with Usain Bolt. Be in-spired.
